South Run and Unit 2 Restoration: Ogden Bay Waterfowl Management Area

Purpose: Repairing a degrading levee at Ogden Bay Waterfowl Management Area on the south run of the Weber River, one of the primary tributaries to Great Salt Lake, as well as restoring a critical wetland unit.

Benefits: These projects will improve wetland habitats and the conveyance of water from the WMA to Great Salt Lake. In total, 2,255 acres of palustrine emergent wetlands are expected to directly benefit from this project. Replacing critical water management infrastructure on the Weber River watershed helps ensure the long-term ecological resiliency of Great Salt Lake.

Timeline: Estimated date of completion is May 2025.
